Technical Abstract

Methods and systems for providing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) displaying and manipulating visualizations of data involve, for example, displaying, in a graphical user interface, a visually static element representing a risk function threshold value and an animatible element representing a current magnitude of a variable risk function value spaced a distance from the visually static element that is proportional to a difference between the risk function threshold value and the current magnitude of the variable risk function value, and animating the animatible element to change its distance from the visually static element by an amount proportional to a change in the current magnitude of the variable risk function value.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method, comprising: displaying, by one or more processors coupled to memory, in a graphical user interface, a visually static element representing a risk function threshold value and an animatible element representing a current magnitude of a variable risk function value spaced a distance from the visually static element that is proportional to a difference between the risk function threshold value and the current magnitude of the variable risk function value; animating, by the one or more processors, in the graphical user interface, the animatible element to change the distance by which the animatible element representing the current magnitude of the variable risk function value is spaced from the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value by an amount that is proportional to a change in the current magnitude of the variable risk function value; and generating, by the one or more processors, in the graphical user interface, an alert visualization when said animation of the animatible element representing the current magnitude of the variable risk function value is animated to move beyond the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, the visually static element at a position on a graduated scale of risk function values.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, the visually static element in reference to a position on a plot of risk function values against predicted price values.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the animatible element further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, a pointer element spaced the distance from the visually static element that is proportional to the difference between the risk function threshold value and the current magnitude of the variable risk function value.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the animatible element further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, an elongate pointer element having a length that is proportional to the current magnitude of the variable risk function value.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the animatible element further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, an icon animatible to move in a path defined by a relationship between variable risk function values and variable predicted price values.

7

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein displaying the animatible element further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, the animatible icon in association with a plot of variable risk function values against the variable predicted price values.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein animating the animatible element further comprises animating, in the graphical user interface, an elongate pointer element having a length that is proportional to the current magnitude of the variable risk function value to increase the length of the elongate pointer by an amount that is proportional to the change in the current magnitude of the variable risk function value.

9

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein animating the animatible element further comprises animating, in the graphical user interface, the elongate pointer element to increase the length of the elongate pointer by the amount that is proportional to the change in the current magnitude of the variable risk function value in a direction parallel to a graduated scale of variable risk function values.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein animating the animatible element further comprises animating, in the graphical user interface, an icon to move in a path defined by a relationship between variable risk function values and variable predicted price values.

11

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, in the graphical user interface, an action to be performed when the current variable risk function value equals the risk function threshold value.

12

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein displaying the action to be performed further comprises displaying, in the graphical user interface, a resting order to be executed when the current variable risk function value equals the risk function threshold value.

13

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, in the graphical user interface, an action to be performed when the current variable risk function value moves beyond the risk function threshold value.

14

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, in the graphical user interface, a second visually static element representing a second risk function threshold value.

15

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein one of said visually static element and said second visually static element displayed in the graphical user interface represents a positive risk function threshold value and the other of said visually static element and said second visually static element displayed in the graphical user interface represents a negative risk function value.

16

16. A system comprising: one or more processors; memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured for storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: displaying, in a graphical user interface, a visually static element representing a risk function threshold value and an animatible element representing a current magnitude of a variable risk function value spaced a distance from the visually static element that is proportional to a difference between the risk function threshold value and the current magnitude of the variable risk function value; and animating, in the graphical user interface, the animatible element to change the distance by which the animatible element representing the current magnitude of the variable risk function value is spaced from the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value by an amount that is proportional to a change in the current magnitude of the variable risk function value; and generating, in the graphical user interface, an alert notification when said animation of the animatible element representing the current magnitude of the variable risk function value is animated to move beyond the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value.

17

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display, cause the device to: display, in a graphical user interface on the display, a visually static element representing a risk function threshold value and an animatible element representing a current magnitude of a variable risk function value spaced a distance from the visually static element that is proportional to a difference between the risk function threshold value and the current magnitude of the variable risk function value; animate, in the graphical user interface on the display, the animatible element to change the distance by which the animatible element representing the current magnitude of the variable risk function value is spaced from the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value by an amount that is proportional to a change in the current magnitude of the variable risk function value; and generate, in the graphical user interface on the display, an alert notification when said animation of the animatible element representing the current magnitude of the variable risk function value is animated to move beyond the visually static element representing the risk function threshold value.
